Australian FM presents leadership awards to four Indians | Visiting Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith presented Australian Leadership Award (ALA) Scholarships to four impressive Indian students on Wednesday. The awardees, chosen on their strong academic abilities
and their potential as leaders, were Tulika Saxena, Mayuri Sengupta, Abhinav Dhall and Lalit Kumar Donakonda. They will undertake research starting next year leading
to Doctor of Philosophy degrees at the Australian National University in Canberra, and the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Their studies will focus on some
of the most complex and challenging issues in development: gender; conflict prevention;
the use of technology for improving health service delivery; and energy and climate
change. The scholarship presentation was held at Australia's High Commission in
New Delhi and was attended by a number of previous winners of scholarships and
fellowships to Australia. Australia's scholarships are a key part of our development
assistance program. It is also an effective way to deepen people-to-people links
between Australia and our neighbours. These ALA Scholarships will strengthen the
friendship and understanding between India and Australia. These latest ALA Scholarships
build on 63 ALA scholarships and fellowships awarded to Indian students since
the program began in 2007. Australian Leadership Award Scholarships are offered
to high achievers from Asia and the Pacific to undertake postgraduate study at
Australian universities. The scholarships help develop leadership and set up awardees
to potentially influence social and economic development in their own countries
and in our region. |
